First of all great deck, I love B/W/G decks and this one looks unique while keeping power with it's uniqueness. My only question is: how well does this fare competitively? I read in the description you brought it to FNM, how well did it do there? Great deck, and am considering building this for real. +1'd.

Tbh honest I wrecked people, but was INCREDIBLY unlucky, never seen anything like it. Stay awhile and listen ;-)
1st match: Dimir, splash red aggro
G1: I mull'd down to 4 cards, because no lands cards (never tried that before), and still no land cards in opening hand. So I hoped to get a land card in first draw. Needless to say I lost g1.
G2: I got somewhere between the perfect hand, and the perfect hand. T5 whiped Lord of the Void , pulled an Erebos, God of the Dead from opponents lib. T6 whiped back Giant Adephage (this mofo is just crazy, I knew he was good. But really.. wtf). And he died. I kept drawing field control cards, so no problem keeping up with his aggro speed.
G3: I mana flooded, he was short on mana. So I kept removing the few cards he threw down. Because this deck benefits from long matches, I overwhelmed him with a hardcast Ashen Rider to get rid of 1/3 lands he had. Next turn hardcast Deadbridge Chant and 6 creatures to the graveyard, he conceded.
2nd Match - B/W control
G1: I annihilated him. He couldn't keep countering my stuff as the turns went on. Guess he was unlucky with the counter draw.
G2: I got mana screwed as he kept countering my Sylvan Caryatid and I didn't draw any lands. He got Elspeth, Sun's Champion in play, and countered Hero's Downfall twice. I got overwhelmed and died.
G3: Sideboarded in Witchstalker , Fiendslayer Paladin and Golgari Charm for aggro and enchantment removal(Detention Sphere . I mull'd down to 4 again, because I had 0 lands.... two games in a row, wtf? - I was lucky and draw some mana the first 5-6 turns, and as his only wincon was Elspeth, and Jayce, and Waited patiently. I ended up overwhelming him with Witchstalker as he made an mistake.
3rd Match: R/G Land destruction, a copy of my own deck.
G1 - He ramped those lands so fast, I had between 1-2 lands till T7-8. He then threw down Ember Swallower , and next turn monstrosity. I got owned.
G2 - I sideboarded in aggro cards and got my ramp up, I ended up with 2x Sylvan Caryatid by T6, he had no creatures, I threw down Temple Garden tap'd it, took the shock, and played Witchstalker and next turn another Sylvan Caryatid , which meant I was safe - as he didn't sideboard in Anger of the Gods . I won after a few swings.
G3 - Same deal, although I had Anger of the Gods sideboarded in this time. I was lucky getting my whip out, and he didn't draw any Bramblecrush . I got manaflooded, luckily lol, couldn't think of any other situation I would be glad about that :-)
4th Match - B/W/ control (again sigh)
G1: Cba writing it all, but I won late late late game.
G2: I got mass countered, and he Verdicted my shit time after time. I lost.
G3: I made an mistake betting on a dream hand but got mana screwed. I lost.
My adventure ended 3-1 :-)

Hey man, I playtested your deck against mine, the BGW with the Angel of Serenity in it.
The Angel did a lot of work against you as I could permanently remove your Giant Adephage token with Angel of Serenity . At one point, your deck snatched my Obzedat, Ghost Council from your whipped Lord of the Void - which I took back using Angel of Serenity too.
The game went 10+ turns as we were both swinging back and forth with lifelink.
At the end, I whipped Ashen Rider to exile your whip and it was gg there.
Your removals did work, but since my whip targets are all ETB creatures, I still managed to get some value out of it. However, since my deck lacks removal - your creatures were still getting their full value out of it too.
+1 for a good game, please playtest my deck and let me know how round 2 goes :)

It all depends on the one piloting the deck, as you don't seem to fully understand the composition of this deck :-)
I would never let you have Whip of Erebos on the field because of Putrefy . And everytime you got to hardcast, or even just cast Angel of Serenity I would have 7 spot removal cards ready to deal with her. As I would never be tempted to use Putrefy F on other creatures but Lotleth Troll if it mattered.
And as my deck is based more on keeping the creatures on the field, combined with strong aggro cards, you shouldn't really have a chance. But np I'll playtest again :-)
Thanks for the feedback anyhow!

DodgeNDive, 5 games and I won 4-1. Only reason you happend to actually win one game, was that I got mana screwed. Not once did you happen to whip back a creature, you did though get to use Obzedat's Aid on a few, but died soon after that.
I still believe that Angel of Serenity is a waste to whip back, Obzedat's Aid would make wonders on her, but running 3x copies of her is kinda nuts :-)

It does seem to depend on whom is piloting the deck, and whether you draw your Putrefy and I draw duplicate Whip of Erebos with my Commune with the Gods .
I have no problem with you not using Angel of Serenity , as I am able to see that your reanimation concentrates on having a permanent out after you whip, which was how mine started out originally, however mine has moved on to more ETB effects.
As for the playtesting, I guess it would only be settled if the two decks ever met with their respective owners behind them then :)

Based on how you worded your description of Ashen Rider , just want to clarify that it will only remove one permanent if you Whip of Erebos it, since she doesn't "die"...anyways, it's a cool deck idea, hope you do well!

Myogenesis, I know, which is why I wrote the description. "Much potential if hardcasted", "a perm spot removal if whip'd". But thanks for the support :-)
Feyhu, I know, and so would you if you read the FNM Update :-) .. But that's why I have a sideboard.
